Seventy-year-old Madoff is under 24-hour house arrest in his Upper East Side luxury apartment, with $10 million bail placed against his home, as well as his wife's residences in Montauk, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida.

He faces one charge of securities fraud in connection with an international scheme that has cost some investors their life savings. Madoff estimated that investors lost $50 billion, according to the criminal complaint against him.

If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison and a $5 million fine.
